As a person who writes about women’s issues, I am constantly being told that Islam is the greatest threat to gender equality in this or any other country – mostly by white men, who always know best. This has been an extraordinary year for feminism, but from the Rochdale grooming caseto interminable debates over whether traditional Islamic dress is “empowering” or otherwise, the rhetoric and language of feminism has been co-opted by Islamophobes, who could not care less about women of any creed or colour.

The recent blanket coverage of the “gender segregation on campus” story was a textbook case. This month Student Rights, a pressure group not run by students, released a report about Universities UK making a rule that male and female students might be asked to sit separately in some lectures led by Islamic guest speakers. Many Muslim women’s groups and individual Muslim feminists joined the subsequent protests, sometimes taking personal risks to do so. Unfortunately, rightwing commentators and tabloids seized upon the issue to imply that Islamic extremists are taking over the British academy.

I have spent weary weeks being asked to condemn this “policy of gender segregation” by “Islamic extremists”, despite the fact that no such policy exists. (If it doesn’t exist, why are you so obsessed with it?) Of course, I condemn all sexism within the academy. I condemn segregated drinking societies and the under-representation of women at the top levels of academia. I condemn rape culture on campus, traditions like “seal clubbing” and “slut dropping” where male students are encouraged to sexually humiliate their female classmates. If I’ve enough breath left, I’ll condemn the suggestion that guest lecturers be allowed a segregated audience for religious reasons.

Structural sexism does take place every day in our universities, as it does in our offices, shops and homes – and we should oppose it everywhere. But demanding that feminists of every race and faith drop all our campaigns and stand against “radical Islam” sounds more and more like white patriarchy trying to make excuses for itself: “If you think we’re bad, just look at these guys.”

It’s the dishonesty that angers me most. It’s the hypocrisy of men claiming to stand for women’s rights while appropriating our language of liberation to serve their own small-minded agenda. Far-right groups like the English Defence League and the British National party rush to condemn crimes against women committed by Muslim men.

Some of their members tell me that since they are standing against the sexism of Muslim barbarians, as a feminist I should be on their side. When I disagree, I am invariably informed I deserve be shipped to Afghanistan and stoned to death.

Horror stories about Muslim misogyny have long been used by western patriarchs to justify imperialism abroad and sexism at home. The Guardian’s Katharine Viner reminds us about Lord Cromer, the British consul general in Egypt from 1883. Cromer believed the Egyptians were morally and culturally inferior in their treatment of women and that they should be “persuaded or forced” to become “civilised” by disposing of the veil.

Colonial patriarchs like Cromer … wanted merely to replace eastern misogyny with western misogyny.” More than a century later, the same logic is used to imply that misogyny only matters when it isn’t being done by white men.

I am not writing here on behalf of Muslim women, who can and do speak for themselves, and not all in one voice. I am writing this as a white feminist infuriated by white men using dog-whistle Islamophobia to derail any discussion of structural sexism; as someone who has heard too many reactionaries tell me to shut up about rape culture and the pay gap and just be grateful I’m not in Saudi Arabia; as someone angered that so many Muslim feminists fighting for gender justice are forced to watch their truth, to paraphrase that fusty old racist Rudyard Kipling, “twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools”.

We are the fools, if we believe that accepting aggressive distinctions between nice, safe western sexism and scary, heathen Muslim sexism is going to serve the interests of women. The people making these arguments don’t care about women. They care about stoking controversy, attacking Muslims and shouting down feminists of all stripes.

For decades, western men have hijacked the language of women’s liberation to justify their Islamophobia. If we care about the future of feminism, we cannot let them set the agenda.

No one said it was a feminazi issue. Feminazis have overwhelmingly ignored the rampant, abusive misogyny in the mohammadan “culture.” Just as this charming feminazi “Laurie Penny” demonstrated in her venomous tirade above. The rhetorical question posted by BNI as the headline was a lead in to why feminists are unmistakably silent about mohammadan misogyny.

islam and its sick proscriptions are violate all human rights yet of all the special rights groups out there feminazis are the most silent. They will always remain silent because as has been noted feminazis don’t care about women’s rights. They care about denigrating white males. This was aptly and glaringly demonstrated by the charming Laurie Penny above.

It’s not just a feminazi issue, it’s not even an issue at all for the screeching hypocritical feminazis.

HAHA ooh I feel important ! I made that that Ayesha Siddiq image at the bottom. How in the world did you find that?

Listen, FYI, I created that ‘photo with storyline’ on an entire, quite sizable, series of images some time ago. A very large number of images – it took me hours and hours of days and days to do the research & obtain the story information. They include before and after, if before is available – almost all have age the girl was when attacked, who burned them, and their horrible reasons for burning them; many state the number of operations done on the face prior to the photograph – some women had never received treatment – horribly, some who did receive donations – their husbands spent it for themselves.

If you are interested, I would love to be able to do something with that set. You can probably see my email on your metadata page – would absolutely love to oblige. I am what I self-term, an ‘image and information hoarder’. Like I collect huge amounts of data & related images, but never do anything with them really….Just my own personal ‘stash’ – I have SO many photographs related to islamic ‘horrors’, persecution of nonmuslims, honor killings, acid attacks, Saudi/Kuwaiti maid-domestic servant tortures, murders, you name it – along with a lot of related news information.

I also, apparently, love doing research & I have probably several HUNDRED GBs worth of photographs & to a lesser extant, information. Lord, tell me you’d like to use some of it Lol At least then I won’t feel weird about spending so much time doing that.

Bunny, you created that? I have used that picture several times, it is in my image file. I think I got it from Google images. I do stories on acid attacks on a regular basis. I would love to post that story with all the images that you refer to, and credit you. I am interested in posting what you have and hope we can work together.

If you look in the Categories section of the sidebar, you will see a section dedicated to ‘Women’ where there are a lot of these stories. You can enter “acid attacks” into the Search box to see the stories I’ve done just on this subject.

Bunny Infidel,find me on Facebook at Marc Anthony La Fauce,or my email is marclafaucegmail.com….i think i can find a way for you to do some real good with that collection of data/images.Looking forward to hearing from you.

Wait, what am I supposed to gather from this? Your imagery seems to contradict your message. In any case, I count any form of organization catering specifically to males to be the enemy, and that includes Islam.

Allow me to quickly(?) explain.
The message is made by a feminazi and the core of it is as follows: she wants to set the agenda of feminism by completely ignoring muslim’s sexism in order to turn easier to fight western sexism, instead of fighthing muslims as a whole.
So, the website owner did copy and paste her foolish arguments and deliberately put up images that proves her actitude of overlooking their mistakes for bashing western is wrong.
Basically she’s saying muslim’s mistakes are minor and western are major, and the website owner is trying to put images that truly show the muslim’s error are the major in fact.

This is the fastest explanation without being unclear all of a sudden. Yet, there are even the shortest know a.k.a tl;dr:

Sarcasm *AND* Irony. So the images ARE supposed to contradict the images and thus the message itself is crappy while the images are the thruth.

I can’t fathom such utter stupidity of so called feminists. Simply because white males warn women to stay away from the seventh century savages who follow a book that makes women the property of men and subject to men in all things, the antithesis of true feminism, feminutzoids dismiss the warning as Islamophobia and push women closer to Muslims. How have white males become more of a threat to leftist women than barbarians who stone women?

“If I’ve enough breath left, I’ll condemn the suggestion that guest lecturers be allowed a segregated audience for religious reasons.” As is typical of this type, it’s ALL about her.

What this very ignorant woman doesn’t realize is that the white men she reviles as being against Muslim abuse of women are most likely NOT abusers of women and have EVERY right to criticize Muslim abuse of women. It appears to me that her hate fills her entire life. And, now, emotionally retarded liberals have another word they’ve latched onto to promote their self-aggrandizement … Islamophobe. Wow, another weapon, shield or two and they’ll be invincible.

If I understand this article correctly, hating white men is much more important than being a voice for Muslim women. Did I get that right? Funny, this pathologically liberal garbage doesn’t even raise my heart rate any longer. You can bet, however, that if and when Muslim women ever attain any rights, which is doubtful, that this bunch of proto lesboids will step in and claim credit.

Thank you for the compliments. You know what they say…”Great minds think alike.” I hope you speak up in real life situations. It will take the voices of many who oppose the inequality, racism, misogyny, and inhumane practices of islam to stop it from taking root in the West.

@Mrs. P

Thanks for the welcome back and my semester ended well, 100’s all around with the exception of one 96.5% (due to a missed day and a half). I’m pleasantly surprised that I haven’t forgotten much in my decades long absence from the world of higher education.

What an unintelligent bitch. Women like this are the reason why most women my age (including myself) point-blank refuse to be associated with the feminist movement. Several women I know, even those who care nothing for politics, will chafe at the label “feminist” because of how absolutely insane the modern-day feminists are. Nobody in their early twenties, aside from the usual, hardcore Marxists, cares about feminism anymore. We can vote, we can hold any job we please… we don’t need so-called “third wave feminism”. Thanks.

Everyone here has already succinctly torn this drivel apart so I’ll refrain. This woman is a loon who has no brainpower possible other than to muster up the usual, tired catchphrases of “structural sexism” “systemic patriarchy” and “white male hegemony”. She’s a self-loathing white Brit who would rather sell out her fellow Brits to Muslims than actually critically analyze one of the most misogynistic ideologies on the planet. To me, she’s equally as dangerous as rabid Muslims because she would hand over her nation all in the name of “equality through multiculturalism” and “challenging Western, Christian notions”.

derK, it’s my generation and the one just after that turned the feminist movement into hate men movement and are turning little boys into sissies. I hope your generation has learned from the mistakes or these feminazis.

She is right!! EVERYONE SHOULD BE CONDEMMING THE TREATMENT OF MUSLIM WOMEN NOT JUST FEMINISTS! This is beyond being stopped by one group of people… It is an evil bunch of man made “laws” that give these freaks the right to destroy ,beat,rape and marry girl children. Anyone with a shred of morals should be actively protesting! The Muslim agenda is a creeping evil that is contaminating Christian countries with impunity….. Do gooders that defend Islamic sharia law as being ” cultural or religious” are aiding the continuation of this abuse!

Der Kanadier, I wish there were more people in the world like yourself. To be able to see the truth and be able to express it in an educated and civilized manner. Thank you for giving me some hope that this world may not be dominated by Islam in 50 years because there are young women out there trying to protect our way of life.

silly girl. Can’t see she’s an expendable shock trooper – when no longer needed she’ll be dragged out and have her head cut off slowly.
Just another reason to avoid the insane.
People who follow crazy people like hitler, david korash and charles mason always end up regretting it.

To all that are crying “Femnazi” or “Manhater”, stop it, you sound like Muslims. The author has seen and suffered enough first hand knowledge to be angry and disgusted. None of you are saying “Yep, how can we stop this abuse and help stop the creation of more women as angry and disappointed in mankind as this author”. If the problem of female, torture, genitalia mutilation and murder in the name of some BS didn’t exist. Neither would this author’s hatred.
Priorities folks, be angry at those responsible for the creation of the anger the author has.

Secondly, I’m thinking that the whole male Muslim gender is closeted homosexuals. They only perform the female genitalia mutilations and demand it out of envy they have no vagina figuratively and physically, at least until they start their new “Jihad through Sodomy” campaign. Envy and Jealousy of no vagina is the drving force behind Muslime.

You don’t make any sense. You are supporting this idiot saying she is fighting the good fight. Her article is a rant against White men not muslum men, read it again. She’s an idiot and you are too if you support her.

I will apologize if I seem to support the author and I will come clean that I didn’t fully ingest or read the article. My disgust for the Islamic cult and their treatment of women and children makes me see red, causing me to snap.

I apologize for my actions if offended any non Muslims or dhmmi and I promise to not only read every BNI article fully before I comment again and since I’m not Muslim or dhmmi, I seek no violence against any non-Muslim for being wrong and idiotic for my mistake.

Look at all those people who have converted to Islam, they didn’t do it because they looked at the rest of the Muslims, they did it because they actually looked at the Quraan and Hadith of the Prophet (P.B.U.H). People constantly criticise Islam yet they know NOTHING about it, in Islam women are given a very high status, heaven is at the bottom of a mother’s feet, and all these “Honour beatings” etc are all CULTURAL, they have nothing to do with Islam, that’s what people have to understand, the truth is in front of them yet people refuse to see it so please understand something fully before criticising it otherwise you have no right.

What a load of bollocks and yet you supremacists still think you’re hated because of a “tiny minority of extremists” or “media lies.”

“Look at all those people who have converted to Islam, they didn’t do it because they looked at the rest of the Muslims, they did it because they actually looked at the Quraan and Hadith of the Prophet (P.B.U.H).”

No they do not. They convert because they are marginal within their own societies. They convert because some mohammadan supremacist pays attention to them. They convert because they have a new found “status” within a larger group and they convert because the violence of islam appeals to them. Then they read mein kuranmpf and hadith. Many is the obese convert who cannot even name the five pathetic pillars of islam.

“in Islam women are given a very high status,”

No they are not.

This is from sahih muslims:

“Abu Dharr reported: THE MESSENGER OF ‘ALLAH (may peace be upon him) SAID: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, HIS PRAYER WOULD BE CUT OFF BY (passing of an) ASS, WOMAN, AND BLACK DOG. I said: O Abu Dharr, what feature is there in a black dog which distinguish it from the red dog and the yellow dog? He said: O, son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) as you are asking me, and he said: The black dog is a devil.”

Are you saying black dogs and asses share this “high status” with women that nullifies an asslifting supremacist’s prayers?

Don’t even bother with the “you have to understand isnad” bullshit. If it’s a weak or “manufactured” hadith there is absolutely no good or logical reason to keep it in a sahih collection. Therefore the “weak or manufactured” argument is null and void.

Here’s another gem, from ibn ishaq’s sira of mo the purtid, speaking of womens “high status” according to mo the putrid:

Mu’adh journeyed to Yaman and did as he had been instructed and a woman came to him and said, “O, you that art the companion of God’s Apostle, what rights does a man exert over his wife?” He said, “Take heed, all of you, a woman can never assume the tasks of her husband, therefore try as hard as you can to satisfy his demands.” She said, “By Allah, if you are a companion to God’s Apostle, you ought to know what rights a man can exert over his wife!” He replied, “If you are returning home and find him bleeding profusely from the nose and you suck up the puss and the blood until nothing of it remains, even then you would not have acquitted yourselves fully of your beholden duties towards him.”

There are many more such disgusting hadiths and ayat from mein kuranmpf avowing the alleged “high status” of women.

And what do you offer as proof of this high status of women in islam?

A weak hadith from a weak collection al-tirmidhi.

“A man once consulted the Prophet Muhammad about taking part in a military campaign. The Prophet asked the man if his mother was still living. When told that she was alive, the Prophet said: “(Then) stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet.”

Taken in its whole it’s really not declaring the “high status” of women. Your repulsive prophet is merely saying it’s better to stay at home than go to war and die. Not that heaven is at his mother’s feet.

All these lies and distortions of the truth and you still claim it’s because we don’t “understand islam”? Really? You really believe we hate you because of “media lies”?
Cupid stunt.

“…and all these “Honour beatings” etc are all CULTURAL, they have nothing to do with Islam,…”

Again another “don’t look behind the curtain” moment from an obfuscating mohammadan supremacist.

islam *IS* bronze age arab culture made sacrosanct. “honour beatings” occur in porkistani mohammdem supremacist culture, they occur in arab mohammadan supremacist culture, they occur in Turkish mohammadan supremacist culture, they occur in Checnyan mohammadan supremacist culture, they occur in Nigerian supremacist culture….notice a theme here, you lying sack of crap? Hint: It has nothing to do with geography or ethnicity.

” the truth is in front of them yet people refuse to see it so please understand something fully before criticising it otherwise you have no right.”

Wrong again. People actually refuse to buy your egregious lies. That is what you need to understand you supremacist witch. Moreover and more importantly every human being has the right to criticize anything they wish, whether they know nothing or everything about it. Period. You do not dictate to anyone how or what they may criticize. Your supremacism is showing with that statement.

“The author has seen and suffered enough first hand knowledge to be angry and disgusted.”

This author has suffered nothing other than being called a “bitch” or “slut.” She is white, Western and what her ilk would call “privileged.” If you had read her article the only things this screeching liberal harpy is “disgusted” by are “islamophobia, white males” and her leftist indoctrinated immoral equivalence of comparing sexism with religiously and legally institutionalized abuse of women.

She does not care about women. She is a typical leftist feminazi who cares about being thought of as a man then brow beating the shit of people who treat her like the man she tries to be.

Feminists are nothing but penis-envying man haters. I have not, in my nearly half a century, been discriminated against due to my lack of a penis. I’ve been called the occasional “bitch” or “slut” and I can’t pee standing up but those things in no way “held me back.”

So spare us your sanctimonius bullshit about this bull dyke “suffering.” Not being taken seriously because one is a screeching man hating harpy is in no way “suffering.”

This article angers and disgusts me so much I doubt that I could formulate a comprehensible response to it. Kudos to the previous 33+ commenters for spelling it out like it is. Seems to be virtually universal agreement that the author of this article is a complete twat.

She shows clearly that she has no genuine compassion for the world’s women………… whether they are from western cultures or from one of the Sharia-dominated shithole countries of the world. Shame on her and the libtard, uber politically correct media that obviously pays her WAY TOO MUCH for her useless rhetoric.

What is she talking about?! There is no comparison of women in the West and women in Islam. it’s night and day. Of course, for liberals, the more badly behaved a minority group, the more that it must be embraced and defended.

I think for many liberal feminists, they really don’t care about the plight of women in other countries- their movement is about personal greed-They care about themselves moreso than anyone else. A true advocate of women’s rights would be speaking out against the way Islam treats women like animals

You would think they couldn’t complain enough about how Islam treats women. Women in the West have NEVER been treated the way Muslim women were/are ever !

she complains about white men who according to her couldn’t care less about Muslim women, are just Islamophobic. How can she know. She is of course referring to Edl males ! Who in her ” educated” opinion are brutes of course . Who does she think she is ?

Feminists don’t criticise other backward cultures because then they would have to admit our culture is far superior ,and then her whole Marxist movement would be obsolete.

Oh, can’t dis the muslimes; that would be “Islamophobic”….not to mention it would make the feminazi nitwits targets of the degenerate scum muslime bros that they have called out as the puke bastards that they are!!…………….

So the real problem is that white men are concerned about it, and their concern derails the author’s campaign against white male culture. Doesn’t matter that it’s so horrific that even the white men the author rails against are aghast, it detracts from *her* fight. Classy.

Seriously? Patrick, look, I’m not sure of your cultural background, beliefs or “colour”, but this isn’t about “the white man” or “white man concern”. It’s about innocent women and children being mutilated, tortured and murdered due to some idiotic thinking that women are so primitive and such lower life forms, that unless they’re genitalia is forcibly removed, they can’t control their sexual desires and are nymphomaniacs. C’mon, don’t make this about anything else than the FACT that NO ONE has any right to harm, hurt, mutilate or take another persons life over something as trivial as not liking the sweaty, abusive pedophile old man climbing on top of them without love being part of the equation.

It’s not female circumcision, it’s an attempt at female castration, just like what’s done to animals to ‘settle’ them down or ‘break’ them. Explain how ‘breaking’ the spirit of anything is acceptable? Bringing awareness to this barbaric act, will hopefully shed some light on just how ridiculous this abuse is. How can you not expect someone to become very passionate at stopping this abuse against women and children? If you think I’m judging you, I am, just like every female baby born in a Muslim family is judged as a sexual deviant that needs to be castrated at some point.

If every Muslim female born is considered a sexual deviant that needs to be castrated, wouldn’t that signal that Allah (May pigs anally rape him with pineapples for eternity in hell) didn’t know WTF he was doing? Or, some insecure Mo’honkey Mohammed who was worried his 6 yr old wife was such a slut he needed to castrate her before she’d enjoy being raped by anyone else but him. (sarcasm as no women enjoy rape, despite Muslime belief)

Islam is a disease. Educate yourself to avoid the infection of Islam and understand that it’s as bad as we followers of BNI communicate in the comments.

Beautiful analysis of this by Patrick: “the real problem is that white men are concerned about it, and their concern derails the author’s campaign against white male culture”

Great. Penny, we white males are often civilized married men with sisters and daughters that we care about! We don’t want them living in a MISOGYNISTIC WORLD. You don’t seem to care about that. Penny, you are the enemy of millions of suffering women! You are putting their lives at risk by enabling their oppressors.

These types cannot see beyond their narrow little liberal, hateful agenda. The mental illness of the liberal, feminist, politically correct, multicultural agenda is based entirely on malignant narcissism, grandiosity and sanctimony. It has nothing to do with their stated purpose.

this woman has her heart so twisted by bitterness ; she is like a rope so twisted into hard balls of knots .. it is good for nothing. Her hatred of men in general is not only self defeating but a real treasonous poison toward her sisters enslaved so viciously under the veils of death which are islam…. but then I am not surprise ….darkness follows darkness .They seem to want secretly to jump into the same pit.. but then I’m justa man..

Just perused the comments that follow this” article”
the level of dhimmi stupidity expressed by most of the commenters
is truly scary….usefull idiots aint in it, as i think a fully functioning brain is required to be an idiot,
usefull or otherwise……..

man hater ! in stead of using the tools God and nature gave her to be a full partner in the scheme of life she’s a drop out ! just like her ideal the muslims she can rant , rave and threat but it ain’t going to be her way , is not part of the plan .

Sheikh Saad al-Buraik exhorted his listeners:
Their women are yours to take, legitimately. God made them yours. Why don’t you enslave their women?…..

One of the girls in the Oxford case, aged 12, was branded ‘M’ with hot metal to show that she was property of her attacker, Mohammed. Some are sold on to new owners; some are rented out, generating a good income….

To Ms. Laurie Penny: How about you take up that challenge to go spout off about “structural sexism” in the middle of Kabul, preferably on a Friday, and see how you are received by the male muslim victims of “patriarchial colonialsm” there. No, you do not get a SEAL team rescue squad to put there lives on the line for your sorry ass, you can just get out of there on your own. There should be hordes of sympathetic muslim men eager to assure your safe passage back to evil, sexist, Western civilization where you can parrot your whineyass brand of PC/MC feminazism to your little pea brain’s content in perfect safety for a nice fat paycheck.

Or, how about we just strip you down to a thong bikini and drop you in the middle of a major Islamic city around noon on a Friday. You have your choice of Riyadh, Tehran, Islamabad, Baghdad, Damascus, and, of course, Kabul. If you’re lucky, we’ll be hearing news reports for months to come about the the bwave widdle “Western journalist” incarcerated in one of those hellhole’s prison systems for “offending Islam”. If not, probably no one will ever hear about — or from — you again.

The wicked woman reveals with perverted words her terrible HATE for women! And for men! We women care deeply for the horrifying suffering of women victims of Islam. The cold-hearted feminazi does NOT! This evil woman viciously attacks our WONDERFUL MEN who speak out for women!

Is she paid by Saudi Arabia to spout forth her venom and HATE against our MEN? Or does this hater volunteer her services for free in the cause of Islamic conquest of Britain and the world? The feminazi clearly LOVES sharia.

frontpagemag.com: Sharia for Dummies, by Nonie Darwish (ex Muslim):
Jihad, defined as “to war against non-Muslims to establish the religion,” is the duty of every Muslim.

There is no age limit for marriage of girls. The marriage contract can take place anytime after birth and can be consummated at age 8 or 9….

To prove rape, a woman must have 4 male witnesses.

Sharia never abolished slavery, sexual slavery and highly regulates it. A master will not be punished for killing his slave.

What a horrifying article. NO ONE in their right mind can possibly think the muslims’ treatment of women and little girls is in any way humane. There can be no real freedom for any woman until all muslim men are removed from this earth. I know that is impossible so we will have to each fight in our own way to stop this. It is a savage, brutal cult with NO redeeming qualities whatsoever.

She’s a fool. She does need to be sent to Saudi Arabia to see how the non-white men of the Middle East as a general rule treat their women. Perhaps she would be happy as a 2nd, 3rd or 4th wife. And here’s the dirty little secret, Middle Eastern men prefer lighter or white skinned women, in fact it’s a status symbol to have a wife with light skin. I know that doesn’t meet the criteria of politically correctness, but it is the absolute TRUTH. I have experienced it my self begin married to an Egyptian, over the years while in Egypt we have been started at and pointed at and questioned. When people find out that my husband has not only a very white wife but an AMERICAN wife you can see the “that a boy” treatment he gets. He is seen as quite a lucky guy!

My husband is Christian but you can see the envy and the amazing respect he commands dealing with the general populous. He also ALWAYS provides a body guard for myself and our very blond daughters when in Egypt. It is just CREEPY the way the men stare at our daughters.

In 2008 we took our girls and one of their friends to Egypt. We were running short on time and wanted the friend to see the pyramids so we agreed to let our two young nephews (20 somethings) take the girls. It was the end of the day so it was not crowded and as they were leaving their car was surrounded by Bedouins fascinated with the three girls. Very unnerving situation and our nephews were really shaken up, and they live there, know the culture and speak the language. The boys held their ground and thankfully got everyone out of the safely.

This is all too true, and in my university I’ve encountered this from the female perspective.

This year, in one of my lectures, a Pakistani Muslim girl sat beside me (it was strange in that halfway through the semester, after Eid I believe, she decided to don the hijab. Very unnerving for me). She was fairly light skinned, and one day we were conversing and I made a remark about Iran, thinking she would know what I was talking about. She was so light-skinned I thought she might be Persian, and it was then she told me she was Pakistani.

Her reaction to when I explained I thought she was Iranian because she was light-skinned is exactly how Chubee and Istanbul_Chick described. Her eyes lit up, and she wore the biggest smile. “Really?! Oh wow, thanks! God, I’m so glad you think I have fair skin!” She gushed about how “pretty” fair skin was, and how she hated the sun because it made her tan which was “ugly”. This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered Muslim women, both fair and dark skinned, fawning over having light skin, because they’ll be more attractive to men. It only further highlights the foolishness of this article and how the author clearly has no idea what she’s talking about.

Sounds like a typical “bean counter” If there aren’t enough female professors in department X it is somehow sexist. I think the real issue here is that the feminists, like all leftists, see Islam as oppressed, non-White and especially non-Christian so they should automatically be on the side of the Muslims. These women are so angry at white, straight, Christian men that anyone who falls outside of that category is automatically a victim and worthy of her respect. Unfortunately Rudyard Kipling was right- read White Man’s Burden and you will see.

Next, she will argue that white men are idiots if they speak against rape and murder, because, after all, millions of women’s FEELINGS are hurt everyday, so those relatively few rapes and murders are being exploited to make us think you actually care.

@Laurie Penny (The Guardian) –
Did you actually write this treacherous article, or was it some nasty male dhimmi posing as a feminist?
Hard to believe that any women living in the UK, knowing the history of the last 200 years – 150 years of sufferagettes – could actually put pen to paper and produce such extremely ignorant drivel.
Who are you really? An imam?

Agreed. I could not read the whole thing. I only made it as far as the bit about Lord Cromer. This hateful twit is nothing but a white male hating dyke who thinks legislation can make her and her fellow feminazis spontaneously grow penises so they can become that which they hate and blame for all the wrong that’s ever happened in the world…white males. She is well aware that mohammadans are indeed doing reprehensible things to women worldwide. She doesn’t care because she doesn’t care about women or “women’s rights.” She only cares about abusing, destroying and then becoming a…white male.

The only thing that will “cure” these man-hating twats is for real women who don’t suffer from the soft bigotry of “lowered expectations” for the owners and operators of vaginas to call these c*nts out for what they really are: man-hating harpies who think affirmative action rules for women makes them superior to men.

But my oh my how they scream “foul” when they claim equality then are held to the same standards as the men they so despise.

They are egregious hypocrites and it’s no wonder they ignore the mohammadan hypcrites’ more repulsive behaviours.

I love nothing more than telling these hateful twits to “shut up and make me a sandwich.” It does not compute when it’s coming from another woman and you can see the crossed wires sparking in their empty heads.

Istanbul Chick:
Often when i wish to make a comment I come across yours and realise that you have already made the point i wished to make. Althpugh i doubt I could be as eloquent.
I always read BNI but rarely comment – and always make it a point to look for yours. You are such an asset to CJ!
Thanks.

Typical RadFem. Even when it’s to do with Women in other parts of the world. Well, It’s CLEARLY all about themselves, and their all knowing, all seeing, omnipotent God, “The Patriarchy”.
There is NO wage gap. Only the different career and life choices that Men and Women make.
There is NOW a rape culture in the West. Care to guess where it’s being imported from.

This is true. I remember my mother in law shrieking about “equal pay for equal work” and I explained that women aren’t taking the jobs that require them to put in the hours or spend the time away from home that men are willing to that gives them a seeming advantage in the salary department. To the bean counters it doesn’t matter if there are more female (or gay male) professors in the English or Education department at a given university all that matters is that there are only 2 women out of 30 in the Math and Engineering department.

Laurie Penny, you are deliciously stupid! You use the ‘poisoned well’ fallacy to prove that mistrust of Islamic misogyny is wrong. Why? Because ‘white men’ are telling you that. So sarcastically, you say, ‘They know everything’.

HOWEVER, then you place your faith in the NOBLE INBRED SAVAGES of Mohammed’s misogynistic Death Cult!

These primitive, wife-beating savages are now friends of Feminism? Stupid! Stupid!

According to a Muslim aya, a Muslim man can marry (and have sex with) even a ONE DAY OLD female baby. (source: FaithFreedom: Pedophilia, allowed by Allah and Patronized by Prophet. Author: Ayesha Ahmed)
And the highest religious authority in Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, was once travelling in Iran and was invited to spend the night at the house of Sayyid Sahib where he was given a banquet and a lot of guests came. After dinner, when the guests had gone, Khomeiní said to Sayyid that he wanted to spend the night with his 5 year old daughter, who was very beautiful, in order to enjoy her. Of course the father said yes. And all through the house all night long the screams and pleading of this little girl could be heard, but nobody came to her aid. Khomeini wqs ENJOYING her. Allah be praised,
There is even a Video about this incident.
If you want to understand the depths of depravity, this must be it.

These Feminist have got to start believing WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME SIDE HERE,!!!! i’m just curious, are their any Women on this Blog who ARE Feminists,?? we’d all love to hear just exactly where you are on this potential life changing situation, swallow your pride, come and Join the rest of us who speak up for YOU, people are trying to defend your RIGHT to be what you want to be, but we need some sort of response from you…so come and Join us on here.(on equal terms of course.)

SO then,.. just how would a White feminist deal with the issues of forced marriages, rape, stoning’s, honour killings, genital mutilations etc?

I am a male and I look at how females under Islam are treated and compare that to how I would interact with a woman.
I don’t think that in my outrage my wanting feminists to be a bit more vocal about how women under Islam are treated and whats expected of them is in any way hijacking, subverting or directing the feminist movment.

Actually, it is subverting the feminist movement. The feminist movement as it exists today is no longer about women’s rights and is more about power struggles for a select group of women and a certain agenda. Muslims make good allies in their war against the Right, Christians, and white people, therefore they kiss Muslim ass. Not to mention all the white feminists are chained down with white guilt, and they’ve convinced themselves that Islam is not only a race, but a race that actually has a history of oppression in the West a la black Americans or American Indians.

Laurie Penny – what an effin’ jerk! She talks the language of the Left, with all its perceived outrages against women by white men, but refuses to acknowledge even a fraction of the crap that’s perpetrated by the mudslimes on all women in their anti-diluvian societies! I absolutely detest the language of these feminazis (Rush was right – they’re the women’s lib politzei!) – and her arguments denouncing the West for denouncing the muzzy savages are only heard in her own echo chamber. Leave it to the Guardian; their leftist socialist writers all have their heads way up their backsides!

BTW, when she used the term, “structural sexism,” I was reminded of Ovomit’s use of the word “structural feminists” in his biography (written by Bill Ayres), describing the sort of students he carefully chose with whom to hang out. I guess that’s a term only leftists know and use.

I’m a woman and your post sounds to me like you are more concerned with the faults of our men than you are are with what is happening with the barbaric treatment of women by Muslim men. Islam is getting a foothold in the West and the press stays quite. If at least the feminist groups would start making a lot of noise about it, then the media would start doing something and it might light a fire under our politicians. Islam presents a grave and real threat to us and the rest of the Western world. All of us will be forceably subjected to this savagery if Islam isn’t stopped.these people want to enslave us and kill us. Therefore, I do not call that Islamophobia.

Funny article [not] . This Laurie person should have no truck with Islam rubbish . Do I detect no wish to blast the Moooozlim shitbags , for fear of being racist ? Shock horror . Westerners should rubbish Islam to get rid of the monsters who mutilate women and worse . . The writer does seem to dislike the Right far more than the savages who wish to destroy the West . Keep a small few Muslims for pets if you must , but the feral crap has to go . I will wait to see what others think .

The Friedan/Steinem cohort of “feminism” has been Marxist and Stalinist from the start and they have allied with Islam to bring down America. That to them is more important than the lives of Muslim women.

In one of his autobiographies, the obamassiah wrote that he hung out with “structural feminists”(as well as with marxists). So, I guess it is not ok for white western men to have sex with children, but it is ok for muslims to engage in pedophilia. If a white western male converts to islam, then does pedophilia become permissible? Or does his western whiteness preclude such activity?
